Once delicious vegan. Now offering meat and dairy to menu. Nope. Just nope.

I guess I've never had good Indian food. Until now. I've always rejected going to Indian restaurants. Until now. I've never liked curry. Until now. Tofu korma was absolutely out of this world! DELICIOUS! Friendly staff. Cute atmosphere. Plenty of free parking.

Update: Will now be offering meat and dairy, so I will not return.

They turned their back on the animals. Not vegan

They could do better if they knew how to run a business without turning their back on the animals. This was one of my favorite restaurants in the Denver area. Me and my family and friends are not coming back. Would give 1 star if it was possible.

Cons: Exploits animals starting December 2024.

Totally agree. Will never go there again. Traitor to animals.

Serving meat and dairy as of Dec 2024

HC won't let me rate 1 star. They are adding animals and their byproducts to their menu. They claim to still deeply care about vegan values while now profiting off of selling their dead bodies.

I will definitely not go there anymore and will encourage others not to support them. This was one of my favorite restaurants. The treason to the animals is unforgivable.

Heaven!

I have been thinking of coming down to try this spot out for a while and it was amazing! I wanted everything on the menu. I have missed having naan and this hit the spot. Good spice level and huge portions. I will definitely be back to try everything!

Delicious!

Coming from the Bay Area I was unsure how the flavors were going to compare. It was absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly spiced and delightful.

Pros: Clean , Easy to locate , Great service

Very good, wish it was closer to the city

Very yummy food. Garlic Naan is superb.

I really wish they were located near downtown Denver and I would visit way more often.

Run, don’t walk

The best Indian food I have had in many years. Absolutely delicious. Ample serving sizes. The staff was so nice. Please consider moving to the other side of the mountains! The Indian and Nepali food near us is not anywhere near as good as this. I love spicy food and 2.5 was perfect heat. I loved being able to make my own combo with foods and sauces. This is not oil-free food. It is quite oily.

Pros: Make your own dish, Spice level, Delicious!

Incredibly Flavorful

Back again! Today, we did the fried tofu and cauliflower korma along with the khatta bhindi as our main dishes. We absolutely loved both! The spice levels (3) were perfect. For appetizers, we had the pakora and gobi manchurian, and both were as delicious as we remembered! Our waiter was lovely, and the restaurant was impeccably clean per usual. Can’t wait for our next visit!

We’re from out of town but went a couple of weeks ago and loved it! Came back to town and came back here again today because it was soooo good! Last time, we enjoyed the vegetable pakora, tofu manchurian, and veggie momo for our appetizers — so much that we did the veg pakora again and wanted to try the gobi manchurian (gobi was the winner for me). The momo was ok. I got the nariyel kofta last time and, while it was delicious, the medium-plus 2.5 spice level wasn’t spicy enough for me. My partner ordered it at 2.5 spice level again today, tho, bc it was so good last time. I went for the tofu biryani today and got it indian hot 3 spice level. It was perfect! Both times, the garlic naan was fantastic, but i got it without cilantro the second time (thanks to the soap gene). 10/10 will be back again!

Awesome : a must visit

We visited this restaurant after reading the glowing reviews on Happy Cow. We were not disappointed. The restaurant was very clean and our server was fantastic. We shared two appetizers, a bottle of Indian beer, and we each had an entree. The food was outstanding. I opted for the Baingan Bharta with an “Indian Hot” (level 3) spice level. It had heat but was very flavorful and all the spices came through on each bite. We will definitely try to visit again before leaving the area. If you’re in the area, you should check out this restaurant.

we ate a lot and liked it all

Very good food from very nice people in a very clean setting. We had probably half the menu one day among a ton of us and we all had a great time.

A new favorite

I loved everything here. They have so many options and the flavor was better than any other Indian restaurant I’ve tried in Denver.

It’s out of the way, but I’ll be looking for excuses to return here in the future.

Casual dining with large selection delicious Indian food

The venue is very casual. The building looks like it used to be a chain fast food restaurant.

They have a large selection of delicious Indian food. It's a long drive for me, so I always order too much so I can take some left overs home.

The service has always top notch.

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Good value

Samosas
Pakoras
Tikka masala w fried tofu & sweet potatoes
Saag with fried tofu & eggplant
(2 add ins included with each curry & you can add more for $1 each)
Garlic naan
Laddo - pretty crumbly

Service was very fast & friendly.
Ambiance is very casual which was fine for us so don’t expect a fancy restaurant.

Simply Wonderful

I loved this place for the following reasons…
1. Cleanliness
2. Customer service-I went to the restaurant with two other people who were elderly and have some difficulty getting around. When we arrived, one of the employees opened the door for us a while before we got to the door and later the other employee not only opened the door for us when we left, but he helped the gentleman into the truck we drove.

The employees were very kind and made sure that we were well taken care of.
3. Delicious food. Variety. Different spice levels from mild to Indian hot. Classy plate and bowls. Healthy.

Pleasantly surprised

I'm not going to post pics cause honestly the pics on their website are better and just as accurate. I've been wanting to try eating here for ever so vegan friends started telling me that I had to go! Good news is that the food is good, decent portions and fairly priced. What really stands out is the kind and friendly service. #Veganuary

O.M.G.!!!! MUST GO!!!!

I have wanted to go to Total Vegan Indian Restaurant for a long time. Today we were kind of in the area. It's just a 32-minute detour, and I am sooooo glad we went! Total Vegan Indian Restaurant was AMAZING! We ordered the Veggie Samosa, Mushroom Manchurian, Combo Briyanai, Aloo Gobi, and Nann Bread.

The samosa was obviously homemade and perfectly fried. Not too dark and not too light. Hands down, it is the best samosa I have ever had. The mushroom manchurian was seasoned perfectly, and I could taste the flavor; this has not been my experience at other Indian restaurants. The combo biryani was so good and clearly scratch-made. While I really liked it, the mushrooms were my favorite part. So next time, I will get the mushroom biryani. My husband devoured the allo gobi and declared it the best he has ever had! (he did the same with the samoas. And the nann, oh, it was so nice to eat nann again!

The staff was attentive but not overbearing. It's just perfect, like the food. And the place was SPOTLESS!!!!

For the next few months, we will be driving between Central Park and Castle Rock on a few Saturdays each month. On those days, we happily take the 32-minute detour to eat at Total Vegan Indian Restaurant. It is the best Indian food I have ever had!

Pros: Food was amazing, Attentive staff, Super clean. I mean SPOTLESS

Cons: Nothing. The place was amazing!
